Oppose all, on the basis 'Ridesharing' is a questionable description for many of these companies (as made clear in the
Ridesharing company article). The existing categories adequately describe the contents (and several are already containing only one or two articles so their existence is questionable, they certianly shouldn't be further sub-divided).

Support - again. Kudos to Marcocapelle for persisting with this (which also avoids the transport/transportation difficulty).

Nominator's rationale: Only one non-redirect article in the Middle-earth swords category, so no point in having a subcat of weapons just for swords now.

Keep - an elegant display of the correct categorisation of useful redirects. Incomprehension is not an argument for delete.

@
Oculi: I'm not advocating for this category to be deleted. I'm advocating for this category to be merged to its parent category, Middle-earth weapons. In my view, if only one Middle-earth sword has its own article, there's no real need to make a more specific category. I think if moved to the weapons category, that would provide enough of a clear category without going overly granular.

Nominator's rationale: 38 redirects for songs (and not one actual article) that take you to one of three albums doesn't make this a very useful category, at least no better than what
Category:The Fireman (band) albums already offers. Previously nominated in
March 2013 with minimal discussion resulting in no consensus (one of the song's did have an article then, which has since been
redirected). StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me18:00, 31 December 2019 (UTC)reply

Nominator's rationale: A band with an article for one album, which is already appropriately categorized in an albums category, negates any need for this eponymous parent.

Nominator's rationale: This is an unnecessary category layer that uses a specialist term (see, for example,
this). Note: A further CFD could remove similar category layers e.g.
Category:Pest arthropods. Note: if (e.g. if more articles are added) an additional category layer is needed it would be better to use the term "invertebrates". DexDor(talk)14:20, 31 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Merge, no need for this small category, parent categories aren't very large. 19:52, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
Merge we don't need tiny categories for every node in the tree of life. Creator of this category was blocked for this kind of thing. If there was a sea cucumber that attacked grapevines, Caftaric would've likely created "Grape pest deuterostomes" along with the category for arthropods.

Delete per above, and also because what is and is not distressing is entirely a matter of personal taste. It thus fails both
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT and likely also
WP:ARBITRARYCAT. Personally, given my favourite club's current performance, I find that
2019–20 Premier League is a distressing article. There are several articles on current British and US politics which would also qualify. Should they go in there?

Keep, on the basis very few of the many 'family' categories have a parent article. There seems to be an accepted convention to group related notable people in this fashion (and Beathard is sufficiently unusual to not be confused with other people). I'd question its parent cats, all the same, because most are sportsmen but a couple are not. If there was a wider discussion about the suitability of these 'family' categories, I'd be interested to know the outcome.

Nominator's rationale: This category is being used for more than saints of the Catholic Church. If it will be used for Santa Muerte and other "deities" that are folk saints outside the Church, it should not carry the name "Catholic".
